This study sought to review the development of Hakka migrant hometown associations and to explore the social network patterns of these associations. To better understand migrant associations in different contexts, research was conducted in various countries or regions. The study examined the relationships between and among associations from an organizational perspective. Using the criteria of density and centralization, the social network patterns are classified into four network types: (1) hierarchical, (2) clique, (3) peer-to-peer, and (4) formative. According to the findings, the network characteristics of different associations enable Hakka associations to flourish in the immigration countries and preserve Hakka culture.

"Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Analyse grundlegender Organisationsprinzipien und -strukturen von Wikis und formuliert Hypothesen für weitergehende empirische Forschung. Zunächst wird das Wiki-Phänomen aus Perspektiven unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen betrachtet. Davon ausgehend erfolgt eine Unterscheidung zwischen zwei elementaren Typen: dem Projekt-Wiki und dem Netzwerk-Wiki. Im weiteren Verlauf liegt der Fokus des Beitrags auf dem zweiten Typus. Hinsichtlich der Organisationsstruktur ist dabei die begriffliche Unterscheidung von Kooperation als Zusammenarbeit mit zentraler Arbeitsteilung und Kollaboration als Zusammenarbeit mit dezentraler Arbeitsteilung entscheidend. Außerdem wird der Begriff der Heterarchie als Konzept eingeführt, um das Organisationsprinzip der kollaborativen Wissensproduktion zu beschreiben; im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Erkenntnis, dass sich verschiedene Akteursrollen dynamisch aus dem Arbeitsprozess heraus entwickeln und es dadurch zu einer Ausbildung temporärer Hierarchien kommt. Abschließend werden mit Blick auf die Frequenz, Verteilung und Art der Beteiligung an einem Wiki die wesentlichen Rollen identifiziert, die zu einer funktionalen Differenzierung führen."

As the first major work to conceive of Filipino immigration as a diaspora, this study analyses the diasporic nature of Filipino relations, identities, and communities and shows how these transnational phenomena are socially constructed by the everyday actions and activities of Filipino Americans. Instead of focusing on an ethnic minority and its relation to its host society, a di
